INTRODUCTION 


WHAT  IS  THE 
FORTY-HOUR 
DEVOTION 


Devotion  to  Jesus  in  the 
Holy  Eucharist  is  the  most 
beautiful  and  fruitful  of  all 


devotions.  The  whole  life  of  the  Church  is 
centered  about  its  Eucharistic  God.  The 
Adorable  Sacrament  of  Love  is  the  sacred 
fount  whence  flow  streams  of  life-giving 
grace  to  the  thirsting  souls  of  men.  1 1 is  the 
banquet  board  <T  the  King  whereat  famished 
spirits  are  feasted  and  refreshed  with  the 
immaculate  Flesh  of  the  Lamb.  Here  too. 
the  King  of  heaven  holds  His  court,  harken- 
ing to  the  pleadings  of  the  needy  and  dis- 
tressed. dispensing  His  mercy  and  His  peace 
with  infinite  bounty. 

Nor  to  the  soul  that  loves  Jesus  with  a 
generous  love,  is  the  Blessed  Sacrament  only 
a storehouse  of  treasures  to  be  drawn  from 
for  its  own  enriching.  It  is  this,  indeed,  but 
it  is  more.  It  is  a living  memorial  of  the 
Passion  and  death  of  the  world’s  Redeemer, 
arousing  in  the  soul  a desire  to  make  a return 
of  love  for  love;  stirring  it  up  to  repair  the 
wrong  it  has  done  and  to  atone  for  the  sins 
and  insults  of  mankind. 

To  aid  the  faithful  in  their  sacred  duty  to- 
wards their  Eucharistic  God.  holy  Mother 
Church  has  provided  many  inspiring  forms  of 
devotion.  Outstanding  amongst  them  all  in 
the  simple  beauty  of  its  ceremonial  and  the 
abundance  of  its  spiritual  fruitfulness,  is  the 
Forty-Hours'  Adoration. 

This  beautiful  devotion  is  celebrated  in 
memory  of  the  forty  hours  during  which  the 


Page  5 


sacred  Body  of  Jesus  reposed  in  the  sepulchre. 
Enthroned  amid  lights  and  lilies,  and  sur- 
rounded by  the  adoring  faithful,  or  carried  in 
solemn  procession  amidst  the  joyful  sound  of 
sacred  song  borne  heavenward  from  prayerful 
lips,  or  offered  in  holy  Sacrifice  upon  the  altar, 
Jesus  the  King  of  kings,  receives  the  homage 
of  His  children,  pleads  their  cause  with  His 
heavenly  Father,  and  pours  the  riches  of  His 
precious  grace  into  their  needy  souls. 

T 'he  origin  of  this  inspiring 
devotion  may  be  traced  to 
the  early  part  of  the  sixteenth  century.  The 
year  1527  saw  the  city  of  Milan  in  the  throes 
of  despair.  Already  terribly  scourged  by 
disease  and  famine,  there  now  hung  over  it 
the  added  horror  of  threatened  invasion  by 
the  imperial  army  which  had  recently  sacked 
the  city  of  Rome.  In  their  extremity  the 
people  had  recourse  to  prayer.  Led  by  a 
holy  priest,  they  gathered  in  the  church,  and 
there  before  the  tabernacle,  knelt  in  adoration, 
begging  their  hidden  God  to  avert  the  impend- 
ing evil.  For  forty  consecutive  hours  groups 
of  faithful  adorers  alternately"  kept  their 
prayerful  watch.  Their  prayer  was  heard; 
Milan  was  spared  and  peace  was  restored  to 
its  people. 

Such  was  the  beginning  of  this  great  devo- 
tion. At  first  it  was  marked  by  the  utmost 
simplicity.  No  pomp  or  ceremony  attended 
it.  The  Blessed  Sacrament  was  not  exposed, 
but  the  people  adored  before  the  tabernacle. 
Thus  it  continued  for  the  first  decade  after  its 
institution.

Ambrose  and  St.  Gregory)  and

In  the  year  1537  Milan  was  again  in  a state 
of  dire  distress.  Not  only  were  there  perils 
impending  from  without,  but  the  moral 
degradation  into  which  the  people  had  fallen 
threatened  to  call  down  upon  their  unhappy 
heads  the  wrath  of  an  angry  God.  In  this  new 
hour  of  peril.  Fra  Giuseppe  da  Ferno,  a saintly 
Capuchin  friar,  appealed  to  the  people  to 
again  have  recourse  to  the  Forty  Hours’ 
Prayer  to  win  God’s  mercy.  But  he  proposed 
to  surround  it  with  greater  solemnity  that  it 
might  do  greater  honor  to  the  Most  High. 
Accordingly  the  Blessed  Sacrament  was  ex- 
posed for  the  adoration  of  the  faithful; 
solemn  processions  were  instituted,  hymns 
and  psalms  were  chanted,  and  every  mark  of 
exterior  pomp  and  ceremony  added  to  lend 
grandeur  to  the  devotion. 

Again  the  effect  was  marvelous.  Not  only 
was  the  city  saved,  but  the  spirit  of  paganism 
which  was  fast  undermining  the  faith  of  the 
people,  and  wreaking  its  devastating  influence 
upon  society  was  checked  and  religion  again 
became  the  all-important  thing  of  life.  The 
Eucharistic  King  was  once  again  enthroned 
in  the  hearts  of  His  people. 


CHARACTERISTICS 
OF  THE 
DEVOTION 


To  appreciate  more 
fully  the  true  significance 
of  the  devotion,  it  will  be 


well  to  note  the  characteristics  which  marked 
its  origin.  Begun  in  an  hour  of  misery,  it  was 
a cry  of  distress  of  the  human  heart  to  God 
when  earthly  assistance  proved  of  no  avail; 
it  was  a prayer  for  peace  when  all  was  sorrow 
and  unrest.  It  was  also  a penitential  act;  an 


Page  8 


humble  atonement  of  sin  to  ward  off  the  Di- 
vine wrath,  and  a sincere  resolution  of  future 
amendment.  No  less  was  it  a sacred  memorial 
of  the  passion  and  death  of  the  world’s  Re- 
deemer; an  awakening  of  a sense  of  loyalty  to 
Christ  by  recalling  all  that  He  suffered  for 
mankind. 


Fostered  by  the  clergy. 

DEVOTION  the  devotion  quickly  8pread 

to  other  cities  of  Italy,  and  in  1551,  through 
the  zeal  of  Saint  Philip  Neri,  was  established 
in  Rome.  Here,  by  an  Apostolic  Constitu- 
tion of  Clement  VIII,  dated  Nov.  25,  1592, 
provision  was  made  that  exposition  should  be 
had  in  continuous  succession  in  the  different 
churches  of  the  city. 

Pope  Paul  V,  in  1606,  confirmed  the  Con- 
stitution of  Clement  VIII,  and  by  a new 
Decree,  established  the  Devotion  in  per- 
petuity. From  time  to  time  succeeding 
Pontiffs  added  regulations  for  the  right  order- 
ing of  the  devotion,  and  in  1707,  Pope  Clement 
XI,  having  gathered  and  rearranged  all  that 
had  been  decreed  by  his  predecessors,  pub- 
lished his  “Clementine  Instruction,”  an 
elaborate  ceremonial  code  wherein  everything 
concerning' the  Forty  Hours’  Prayer  is  speci- 
fied in  detail.  In  the  city  of  Rome  this  code 
is  of  strict  obligation;  elsewhere  it  serves  as  a 
directive  norm  or  rule  to  be  observed  where 
possible.

from  so  salutary  a devotion,  introduced  it 
into  the  diocese  of  Philadelphia.  F'ive  years 
later,  in  1858,  it  was  begun  in  the  Arch- 
diocese of  Baltimore,  and  at  length,  in  1866, 
the  Plenary  Council  of  Baltimore  gave  it 
formal  approbation  for  all  Dioceses  of  the 
United  States.  However,  owing  to  condi- 
tions, it  was  deemed  impossible  to  observe 
strictly  all  the  details  of  the  Clementine 
Instruction.  Hence  a petition  was  made  to 
the  Holy  See  by  The  Most  Reverend  F.  P. 
Kenrick,  Archbishop  of  Baltimore,  asking 
that  certain  modifications  be  granted.  In 
reply,  the  Holy  Father,  by  a rescript  dated 
December  10,  1857,  made  the  following  con- 
cessions to  all  the  Dioceses  of  the  United 
States:  First — The  Exposition  of  the  Blessed 
Sacrament  may  be  interrupted  during  the 
night.  Second— In  case  of  necessity,  the 
procession  may  be  omitted.  Third — The 
faithful  may  gain  all  the  indulgences  granted 
to  those  who  assist  at  the  devotion  when 
conducted  strictly  according  to  the  Clemen- 
tine Instruction. 

Avrfrml?E"  Since  the  first  recognition  of  the 
VOTiON  devotion  by  the  Church,  various 
Pontiffs  have  given  it  further  encouragement 
by  enriching  it  with  holy  indulgences,  both 
Plenary,  (full  remission  of  the  temporal 
punishment  due  to  sin)  and  Partial,  (remis- 
sion of  part  of  the  temporal  punishment  due 
to  sin).  These  Indulgences,  applicable  to 
the  holy  souls,  are  as  follows: 

A Plenary  Indulgence  to  all  who,  after 
Confession  and  Communion,  (in  the  church 


Page  I I 


of  Exposition  or  elsewhere)  shall  visit  the 
Blessed  Sacrament  Exposed,  on  one  of  the 
three  days,  and  pray  for  the  intention  of  the 
Holy  Father. 

An  Indulgence  of  ten  years  and  ten  times 
forty  days,  for  every  visit  made  with  true 
contrition  and  a firm  purpose  of  going  to 
confession. 

In  the  church  where  the  Exposition  takes 
place,  all  the  altars  are  privileged,  i.e.,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  ordinary  fruits  of  the  Eucharistic 
Sacrifice,  a Plenary  Indulgence  is  granted  for 
every  Mass  offered  on  such  altars. 


To  participate  to  the 
THE  D EVOTION  fuHest  extent  in  the 

fruits  of  this  devotion,  we  must  assist  at  it 
in  a spirit  of  lively  faith,  of  ardent  love  for 
our  Eucharistic  King,  with  true  contrition 
for  our  own  sins  and  the  sins  of  the  world, 
accompanied  by  a sincere  purpose  of  amend- 
ing our  lives  and  atoning  for  our  past 
infidelity.-  A complete  renovation  of  spirit 
should  be  the  result  in  each  individual  soul. 

We  must  also  bear  in  mind  that  the  Prayer 
is  a cry  of  the  Church  for  her  own  needs  and 
the  needs  of  her  children.  Hence  we  must 
during  this  time  awaken  within  our  hearts  a 
spirit  of  universal  charity.  This  can  be  best 
accomplished  by  assisting  at  the  Solemn 
Mass  which  marks  the  beginning  of  each  day’s 
ceremony;  by  following  the  sacred  ritual  with 
which  the  Devotion  is  surrounded;  by  par- 
ticipating (when  the  custom  prevails)  in  the 
solemn  processions  and  by  joining  fervently 
in  the  public  prayers  which  are  recited.

Frequent  visits  to  our  Eucharistic  Lord 
should  also  be  made,  if  possible,  during  the 
hours  of  Exposition. 

Thus  shall  the  faithful  soul,  participating 
in  the  inspiring  liturgical  functions  of  this 
charming  devotion,  or  kneeling  in  silent  com- 
munion with  our  Adorable  Saviour  exposed  in 
His  Sacrament  of  Love,  render  to  God  an 
act  of  homage  most  pleasing  to  the  Divine 
Majesty,  and  win  for  itself  and  the  Church 
untold  graces  and  blessings. 

That  this  may  be  the  better  accomplished 
is  the  object  of  this  little  work.  May  our 
Eucharistic  Saviour  deign  to  bless  it,  and  by 
its  means,  draw  many  souls  to  a deeper 
appreciation  of  His  sweet  Sacrament  of  Love.

OF  THE 

FORTY-HOURS’  DEVOTION 


First  Day 

THE  MASS  The  Ceremony  begins  with  solemn  Mass. 
The  Mass  of  Exposition,  celebrated  on  the  first  day,  is, 
(rubrics  permitting)  the  solemn  Mass  of  the  Blessed 
Sacrament.  The  vestments  worn  arc  white,  this  being 
the  color  proper  to  the  Blessed  Sacrament.  (In  case  of

THE  ORDINARY  OF  THE  MASS 

The  people  stand  when  the  celebrant  and  his  ministers  enter  the 
Sanctuary. 

THE  BEGINNING  Standing  at  the  foot  of  the  altar,  the  celebrant 
OF  MASS  begins  with  the  sign  of  the  Cross;  the  deacon 
Kneel  and  sub-deacon  responding : 


P.  In  nomine  Pa- 
tris, et  Filii,  et  Spiri- 
tus Sancti.  Amen. 

P.  Introibo  ad  al- 
tare Dei. 

R.  Ad  Deum,  qui 
laetificat  juventutem 
meam. 

P.  Judica  me, 
Deus,  et  discerne 
causam  meam  de 
gente  non  sancta: 
ab  homine  iniquo  et 
doloso  erue  me. 

R.  Quia  tu  es, 
Deus,  fortitudo  mea: 


In  the  name  of  the 
Father,  and  of  the 
Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost.  Amen. 

I will  go  in  to  the 
altar  of  God. 

To  God,  Who 
giveth  joy  to  my 
youth. 

Judge  me,  O God, 
and  distinguish  my 
cause  from  the  na- 
tion that  is  not  holy; 
deliver  me  from  the 
unjust  and  deceitful 
man. 

For  Thou  art,  God, 
my  strength;  why 

Page  15 


quare  me  repulisti,  et 
uare  tristis  incedo, 
um  affligit  me  inimi- 
cus? 

P.  Emitte  lucem 
tuam,  et  veritatem 
tuam:  ipsa  me  de- 
duxerunt, et  addux- 
erunt in  montem 
sanctum  tuum,  et  in 
tabernacula  tua. 

R.  Et  introibo  ad 
altare  Dei:  ad  Deum, 
qui  laetificat  juven- 
tutem meam. 

P.  Confitebor  tibi 
in  cithara,  Deus, 
Deus  meus:  quare 

tristis  es  anima  mea, 
et  quare  conturbas 
me? 

R.  Spera  in  Deo, 
quoniam  adhuc  con- 
fitebor illi:  salutare 
vultus  mei,  et  Deus 
meus, 

P.  Gloria  Patri,  et 
Filio,  et  Spiritui 
sancto. 

R . Sicut  erat  in 
principio,  et  nunc,  et 
semper,  et  in  saecula 
saeculorum,  Arnen. 


hast  Thou  cast  me 
off  and  why  do  I go 
sorrowful  whilst  the 
enemy  afflicteth  me? 

Send  forth  Thy 
light  and  Thy  truth : 
they  have  conducted 
me,  and  brought  me 
unto  Thy  holy  hill, 
and  into  Thy  tab- 
ernacles. 

And  I will  go  in  to 
the  altar  of  God;  to 
God,  Who  giveth  joy 
to  my  youth. 

To  Thee.  0 God. 
my  God,  I will  give 
praise  upon  the  harp: 
why  art  thou  sad.  0 
my  soul,  and  why 
dost  thou  disquiet 
me? 

Hope  in  God,  for 
I will  still  give  praise 
to  Him,  the  salva- 
tion of  my  counte- 
nance and  my  God. 

Glory  be  to  the 
Father,  and  to  the 
Son,  and  to  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

As  it  was  in  the 
beginning,  is  now. 
and  ever  shall  be. 
world  without  end. 
Amen.

At  Solemn  Mass,  during  the  celebrant's  preparatory  prayer  at  the 
foot  of  the  altar-steps,  the  choir  sings  the  Introit  and  the  Kyrie 
eleison  before  reading  which  himself,  the  celebrant  blesses  incense 
and  casts  it  on  the  burning  coals  in  the  thurible,  saying :

Whose  honor  thou  art

EPISTLE  chanted  by  the  Subdeacon .

Lectio  Epistolae 

beati  Pauli  Apos- 
toli ad  Corinthios. 
1 Cor.  xi  23-29. 
Fratres:  Ego  enim 

accepi  a Domino 
quod  et  tradidi  vobis, 
quoniam  Dominus 
Jesus  in  qua  nocte 
tradebatur,  accepit 
panem,  et  gratias 
agens  fregit,  et  dixit; 
Accipite,  et  mandu- 
cate: hoc  est  corpus 
meum,  quod  pro  vobis

THE  Lesson  is 
taken  from  the' 
Epistle  of  Saint  Paul 
to  the  Corinthians. 

1 Cor.  xi  23-29. 
Brethren:  I have  re- 
ceived of  the  Lord, 
that  which  also  1 
have  delivered  to 
you,  that  the  Lord 
Jesus,  the  same  night 
in  which  He  was  be- 
trayed, took  bread, 
and  giving  thanks, 
broke,  and  said.  Take 
ye,  and  eat:  this  is 
My  body,  which  shall 
be  delivered  for  you; 
this  do  for  the  com- 
memoration of  Me. 

In  like  manner  also 
the  chalice,  after  He 
had  supped,  saying. 
This  chalice  is  the 
new  testament  in  My 
blood;  this  do  ye.  as 
often  as  you  shall 
drink,  for  the  com- 
memoration of  Me. 
For  as  often  as  you 
shall  eat  this  bread,  j 
and  drink  this  chal- 
ice, you  shall  show

illo  edat,  et  de  calice

non  dijudicans  cor- 
pus Domini. 


the  death  of  the 
Lord  until  he  come. 
Therefore,  whosoever 
shall  eat  this  bread, 
or  drink  of  the  chalice 
of  the  Lord  un- 
worthily, shall  be 
guilty  of  the  body 
and  of  the  blood  of 
the  Lord.  But  let  a 
man  prove  himself : 
and  so  let  him  eat  of 
that  bread,  and  drink 
of  the  chalice.  For 


he  that  eateth  and  drmketh  unworthily,  eat- 
eth  and  drinketh  judgment  to  himself,  not 
discerning  the  body  of  the  Lord. 

R.  Deo  Gratias.  Thanks  be  to  God. 


THE  The  Gradual  is  the  prayer  following  the  Epistle  said 
GRADUAL  in  a low  tone  by  the  celebrant . 


Psalm  144,  15-16. 
Oculi  omnium  in  te 
sperant,  Domine:  et 
tu  das  illis  escam  in 
tempore  opportuno. 
V.  Aperis  tu  manum

Alleluja,  alleluja.  V. 

Joann.  VI.  56-57. 
Caro  mea  vere  est

Qui  manducat  meam 


Ps.  144,  15-16.  The 
eyes  of  all  hope  in 
Thee,  O Lord,  and 
Thou  givest  them 
meat  in  due  season. 
V.  Thou  openest  Thy 
hand,  and  flllest 
every  living  creature 
with  Thy  blessing. 
Alleluia,  alleluia.  V. 

John  yi.  56-57.

After  Septuagesima,  instead  of  Alleluia  and  V,  is  said: 

Tract.  Mai.  I.  II* 
From  the  rising  of 
the  sun  even  to  the 
going  down.  My  name 
is  great  among  the 
gentiles.  V.  And 
in  every  place  there 
is  sacrifice,  and  there 
is  offered  to  My 
name  a clean  offer- 
ing: for  My  name  is 
great  among  the  gen- 
tiles. V.  Prov.  IX,  5. 
Come,  eat  My  bread 
and  drink  the  wine 
which  I have  mingled 
for  you. 

During  the  Octave  of  Corpus  Christi,  the  Lauda  Sion  is  said  after 
the  Gradual . 

LAUDA  SION 

SION,  lift  thy  voice  and  sing. 

Praise  thy  Saviour  and  thy  King, 

Praise  with  hymns  thy  shepherd  true. 
Strive  thy  best  to  praise  him  well; 

Yet  doth  he  thy  praise  excel, 

Never  canst  thou  reach  his  due. 

See  today  before  us  laid 
Living  and  life-giving  bread,

Theme  for  praise  and  joy  profound. 
Bread  which  at  the  sacred  board 
Was,  by  our  Incarnate  Lord, 

Given  to  His  Apostles  round. 

Let  the  praise  be  loud  and  high; 

Full  and  tranquil  be  the  joy 
Felt  today  in  every  breast 
On  this  festival  divine. 

Which  records  the  origin 
Of  the  glorious  Eucharist. 

On  this  table  of  the  King, 

Our  new  paschal  offering 
Brings  to  the  end  the  olden  rite; 

Here,  for  empty  shadows  fled. 

Is  reality  instead: 

Here,  instead  of  darkness,  light. 

His  own  act  at  supper  seated, 

Christ  ordained  to  be  repeated. 

In  his  memory  divine: 

Wherefore  now,  with  adoration, 

We  the  Host  of  our  salvation 
Consecrate  from  bread  and  wine. 

Hear  what  holy  Church  maintaineth 
That  the  bread  its  substance  changeth 
Into  Flesh,  the  wine  to  Blood. 

Doth  it  pass  thy  comprehending? 
Faith,  the  law  of  sight  transcending. 
Leaps  to  things  not  understood. 

Here  beneath  these  signs  are  hidden 
Priceless  things,  to  sense  forbidden, 
Signs,  not  things,  are  all  we  see. 


Page  27 


Flesh  from  bread,  and  Blood  from  wine. 
Yet  is  Christ  in  either  sign, 

All  entire,  confessed  to  be. 

They  too  who  of  him  partake. 

Sever  not,  nor  rend,  nor  break. 

But  entire  their  Lord  receive. 

Whether  one  or  thousands  eat. 

All  receive  the  selfsame  meat. 

Nor  the  less  for  others  leave. 

Both  the  wicked  and  the  good 
Eat  of  this  celestial  food; 

But  with  ends  how  opposite  ! 

Here  ’tis  life,  and  there  ’tis  death. 

The  same,  yet  issuing  to  each 
In  a difference  infinite. 

Nor  a single  doubt  retain, 

When  they  break  the  host  in  twain 
But  that  in  each  part  remains, 

What  was  in  the  whole  before; 

Since  the  simple  sign  alone 
Suffers  change  in  state  or  form. 

The  signified  remaining  one 
And  the  same  for  evermore. 

Lo  ! upon  the  altar  lies. 

Hidden  deep  from  human  eyes, 

Bread  of  angels  from  the  skies. 

Made  the  food  of  mortal  man, 
Children's  meat,  to  dogs  denied, 

In  old  types  foresignified; 

In  the  manna  heaven-supplied, 

Isaac  and  the  Paschal  Lamb. 

Jesu  ! Shepherd  of  the  sheep. 

Thou  Thy  flock  in  safety  keep. 


Page  28 


Living  Bread!  thy  life  supply; 

Strengthen  us  or  else  we  aie; 

Fill  us  with  celestial  grace: 

Thou,  who  feedest  us  below ! 

Source  of  all  we  have  or  know  ! 

Grant  that  with  thy  saints  above. 

Sitting  at  the  feast  of  love. 

We  may  see  thee  face  to  face. 

Amen.  Alleluia. 

At  Eastertide,  instead  of  the  Gradual,  is  said:

At  solemn  Mass,  after  the  celebrant  has  completed  the  reading  of 
the  Gospel  in  a low  tone  of  coice,  he  puts  incense  into  the  censer 
and  blesses  it.  Then  the  deacon,  kneeling  on  the  altar-step,  repeats 
the  prayer  “ Munda  cor  meum"  as  above,  and,  taking  the  book  of 
the  holy  Gospels  from  the  altar,  he  kneels  before  the  celebrant  and 
asks  his  blessing:

Stand  Then,  accompanied  by  the  other  ministers  with  lights  and 
incense,  the  deacon  goes  to  the  place  appointed  on  the  Gospel 
side  in  the  sanctuary,  sings  the  customary  salutation,  " Dominus 
Oobis’um,”  announces  ihz  Gospel,  signs  the  book  and  himself  with 
the  Sign  of  the  Cross,  incenses  the  book  and  proceeds  to  sing  the 
Gospel  as  given  before.  During  this  time,  the  celebrant  stands  with 
hands  joined  facing  the  place  where  the  deacon  is  singing  the  Gospel. 
At  the  end  of  the  Gospel  the  subdeacon  carries  the  book  to  the  celebrant 
at  the  altar,  who  kisses,  it  and  says  the  prayer: 

Per  evangelica  die-  May  our  sins  be 
ta  deleantur  nostra  blotted  out  by  the 
delicta.  words  of  the  Holy 

Gospel. 

Then  the  deacon  incenses  the  celebrant. 

THE  CREDO  After  the  Gospel,  the  celebrant,  standing  at  the  mid - 
Stand  die  of  the  altar,  intones  the  Credo  and  continues 
its  recital  in  a low  tone. 


Sit  The  Credo  is  then  taken  up  and  sung  by  the  choir  during  which 
the  celebrant  and  his  ministers  sit  until  it  is  terminated.

In  solemn  Mass,  shortly  before  the  end  of  the  Credo,  the  deacon 
rises  and  bowing  to  the  celebrant  carries  ike  burse  containing  the 
corporal  to  the  altar  and  spreads  the  corporal  before  the  tabernacle 
He  then  returns  to  his  seat. 

At  the  end  of  the  Credo  the  celebrant  proceeds  to  the  Offertory.  He 
pisses  the  altar ; then  turning  to  the  people,  he  salutes  them  singing 


P.  Dominus  vobis- 
cum. 

R . Et  cum  spiritu 
tuo. 


The  Lord  be  with 
you. 

And  with  thy 
spirit. 


Then,  turning  again  to  the  altar,  he  continues; 

P . Oremus.  Let  us  pray. 

He  then  reads  the  Psalm-verse  appointed. 


THE  OFFERTORY 

•$«* Levit,  xxi  6.  Sacer- 
dotes Domini  incen- 
sum et  panes  offerunt 
Deo:  et  ideo  sancti 
erunt  Deo  suo,  et 
non  polluent  nomen 
ejus. 


Lev.  xxi  6.  The 
priests  of  the  Lord 
offer  incense  and 
loaves  to  God,  and 
therefore  they  shall 
be  holy  to  their  God, 
and  shall  not  defile 
His  name. 


The  celebrant  then  takes  the  paten  on  which  rest  two  hosts,  one  for 
the  priest's  communion,  the  other  for  the  exposition,  and  makes 
the  oblation,  saying : (In  solemn  Mass,  while  the  preceding  prayer 
is  being  read,  the  subdeacon,  with  the  humeral  veil  about  his  shoul- 
ders, carries  the  chalice  with  its  appurtenances  from  the  credence 
table  to  the  altar. )

Suscipe,  sancte

et  negligentiis  meis, 
et  pro  omnibus  cir-

Receive,  o holy 

Father,  almigh  ty 
and  eternal  God,  this 
spotless  host,  which  I, 
Thy  unworthy  ser- 
vant, offer  unto  Thee, 
my  living  and  true 
God,  for  my  count- 
less sins,  trespasses 
and  omissions,  like- 
wise for  all  here  pres-

ful Christians,  wheth- 
er living  or  dead, 
that  it  may  avail 
both  me  and  them  to 
salvation  unto  life 
everlasting.  Amen. 


The  celebrant  mak.es  the  Sign  of  the  Cross  with  the  paten  and  places 
the  hosts  upon  the  corporal.  He  then  pours  Wine  and  water  into 
the  chalice  (in  solemn  Mass  the  deacon  serves  the  wine — the  sub- 
deacon  the  water)  and  recites  the  prayer: 


Deus,  qui  humanae 
substantiae  dignita-

O God,  Who  in 
creating  man  didst 
exalt  His  nature  very 
wonderfully  and  yet 
more  wonderfully 
didst  establish  it 
anew:  by  the  mys-

mingling  of  this  water 
and  wine  grant  us  to 
have  part  in  the  God-

The  celebrant  then  offers 

Offerimus  tibi.  Do- 
mine, calicem  salu- 
taris, tuam  depre- 
can  tes  clementiam : 
ut  in  conspectu  di-

Our  Lord,  Wholiveth 
and  reigneth  with 
Thee  in  the  unity  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  God,

Amen. 

: chalice  with  the  words: 

We  offer  unto 
Thee,  O Lord,  the 
chalice  of  salvation, 
beseeching  Thy  clem- 
ency that  it  may 
ascend  as  a sweet 
odor  before  Thy  di- 
vine majesty,  for  our 
own  salvation,  and 
for  that  of  the  whole 
world.  Amen. 


In  solemn  Mass  the  subdeacon  receives  the  paten,  covers  it  with 
the  veil,  and  holding  it  thus,  retires  to  the  center  of  the  altar  at  the 
foot  of  the  steps  where  he  remains  until  towards  the  end  of  the 
Paler  Noster. 


The  celebrant  forms  the  Sign  of  the  Cross  with  the  chalice,  places 
it  upon  the  corporal,  covers  it,  bows  and  says: 


In  spiritu  humili- 
tatis, et  in  animo 
contrito,  suscipiamur 
a te,  Domine:  et  sic 
fiat  sacrificium  nos- 
trum in  conspectu 
tuo  hodie,  ut  placeat 
tibi,  Domine  Deus. 


Humbled  in  mind, 
and  contrite  of  heart, 
may  we  find  favor 
with  Thee,  O Lord: 
and  may  the  sacrifice 
we  this  day  offer  up 
be  well-pleasing  to 
Thee,  Wrho  art  our 
Lord  and  our  God. 


Page  36 


The  ct  kb  rant  bkssei  the  offering  and  says: 


Veni,  sanctificator, 
omnipotens  aeterne 
Deus,  et  benedic  ^ 
hoc  sacrificium  tuo

Come,  Thou,  th£

mighty and  everlast- 
ing; bless  4s  this  sac- 
rifice which  is  pre- 
pared foi  the  glory  of 
Thy  holy  name. 


In  solemn  Mass,  incense  is  then  blessed , the  celebrant  saying: 


Per  intercessionem 
beati  Michaelis  arch- 
angeli  stantis  a dex- 
teris altaris  incensi, 
et  omnium  electorum 
suorum.  incensum 
istud  dignetur  Do-

By  the  intercession 
of  blessed  Michael 
the  archangel,  who 
standeth  at  the  right 
hand  of  the  altar  of 
incense,  and  of  all  his 
elect,  may  the  Lord 
vouchsafe  to  bless 
this  incense,  and  to 
receive  it  for  an  odor 
of  sweetness. 
Through  Christ  our 
Lord.  Amen. 


He  incenses  the  bread  and  wine  on  the  altar  with  the  wards: 


Incensum  istud  a 
te  benedictum,  ascen- 
dat ad  te  Domine,  et 
descendat  super  nos 
misericordia  tua. 


May  this  incense, 
blessed  by  Thee,  as- 
cend before  Thee.  O 
Lord,  and  may  Thy 
mercy  descend  upon 
us. 


He  then  incenses  the  altar,  saying: 

Dirigatur» Domine,  Let  my  prayer  be 
oratio  mea,  sicut  in-  directed,  O Lord,  as 
censum,  in  conspectu  incense,  in  Thy  sight:

the  lifting  up  of  my 
hands  as  an  evening 
sacrifice.  Set  a 
watch,  O Lord,  be- 
fore my  mouth:  and 
a door  round  about 
my  lips:  that  my 

heart  may  not  incline 
to  evil  words : to 

make  excuses  in  sins. 


The  celebrant  returns  the  thurible  to  the  deacon . saying: 


Accendat  in  nobis 
Dominus  ignem  sui 
amoris,  et  flammam 
aeternae  caritatis. 
Arnen. 


May  the  Lord  en- 
kindle in  us  the  fire 
of  His  love  and  the 
flame  of  everlasting 
charity.  Amen. 


Then  the  deacon  incenses  the  celebrant,  clergy  and  the  subdeacon  : 
after  which  he  is  himself  incensed  by  the  thurifer,  who  lastly  in- 
censes the  laity. 


Stand  Lastly  the  people  are  incensed. 

Sit  After  the  offering  of  the  chalice  (in  solemn  Mass,  after  the 
incensation ) the  celebrant,  standing  at  the  Epistle  side  of  the 
altar,  washes  his  fingers,  saying: 


Lavabo  inter  in- 
nocentes manus  meas: 
et  circumdabo  altare 
tuum,  Domine. 

Ut  audiam  vocem 
laudis:  et  enarrem 

universa  mirabilia 

tua. 


I will  wash  my 
hands  among  the  in- 
nocent : and  will  com- 
pass Thine  altar,  O 
Lord. 

That  I may  hear 
the  voice  of  praise: 
and  tell  of  all  Thy 
wondrous  works.

I have  loved,  O 
Lord,  the  beauty  of 
Thy  house,  and  the 
place  where  Thy 
glory  dwelleth. 

Take  not  away  my 
soul,  O God,  with  the 
wicked:  nor  my  life 
with  men  of  blood. 

In  whose  hands  are 
iniquities;  their  right 
hand  is  filled  with 
gifts. 

But  as  for  me,  1 
have  walked  in  my 
innocence : redeem 

me,  and  have  mercy 
on  me. 

My  foot  hath  stood 
in  the  direct  way:  in 
the  churches  I will 
bless  Thee,  O Lord. 

Glory  be  to  the 
Father,  and  to  the 
Son,  and  to  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

As  it  was  in  the 
beginning,  is  now, 
and  ever  shall  be :

The  celebrant  returns  to  the  middle  of  the  altar . bows  and  says:

At  solemn  Mass . the  deacon,  towards  the  end  of  the  Pater  Noster, 
goes  to  the  right  hand  of  the  celebrant,  where  he  awaits  the  approach 
of  the  subdeacon,  from  whom  he  receives  the  paten,  which  he  puts 
into  the  hands  of  the  celebrant. 

Holding  the  paten,  the  celebrant  says:

Host  in  the  ostensorium  which  stands  on  the  corporal  in  front  of 
the  tabernacle.  He  then  genuflects  in  adoration  and  proceeds 
with  the  Mass. 


During  the  rest  of  the  Mass  the  celebrant  genuflects  before  the  Blessed 
Sacrament  exposed,  when  passing  to  or  from  the  center  of  the  altar , 
as  also  before  and  after  turning  towards  the  people.

the  celebrant  says:

Amen. 


After  the  Communion  of  the  Faithful,  the  celebrant  receives  into  tht 
chalice  a small  quantity  of  wine  and  says:

for  eternity. 


The  celebrant  consumes  the  ablution,  goes  to  the  Epistle  side  where 
wine  and  water  are  poured  over  his  fingers  into  the  chalice,  and  says:

were  made  by  Him: 
and  without  Him  was 
made  nothing  that 
was  made.  In  Him 
was  life,  and  the  life 
was  the  light  of  men : 
and  the  light  shineth 
in  darkness,  and  the 
darkness  did  not  com- 
prehend it.  There 
was  a man  sent  from 
God,  whose  name 
was  John.  This  man 
came  for  a witness, 
to  give  testimony  of 
the  light,  that  all 
men  might  believe 
through  him.  He 
was  not  the  light, 
but  was  to  give  testi- 
mony of  the  light. 
That,  was  the  true 
light  which  enlight- 
eneth  every  man  that 
cometh  into  this 
world.  He  was  in

THE  PROCESSION 


After  the  last  Gospel,  the  celebrant  takes  off  the  chasuble  and  puts 
on  the  cope.  He  then  goes  to  the  altar  and  incenses  the  Blessed 
Sacrament.  After  the  incensation  he  receives  the  humeral  veil 
about  his  shoulders  and,  ascending  tolhc  altar,  takes  the  Ostensorium 
in  his  hands  and  turns  toward  the  people.  {If  there  are  three 
Ministers,  the  Deacon  puts  the  ceil  about  the  celebrant's  shoulders 
and  places  the  Ostensorium  in  his  hands.) 

As  soon  as  the  celebrant  turns  toward  the  people,  the  procession 
is  begun  and  the  hymn.  Pange  i ingua  (Sing,  my  tongue ) is  intoned.

Nobis  datus , nobis 
natus 

Ex  intacta  virgine, 

Et  in  mundo  con- 
versatus 

Sparso  verbi  semine, 
Sui  moras  incolatus 
Miro  clausit  ordine. 


1. 

Sing,  my  tongue,  the 
Saviour’s  glory. 

Of  His  flesh  the  mys- 
tery sing: 

Of  the  blood,  all 
price  exceeding, 

Shed  by  our  immor- 
tal King. 

Destined,  for  the 
world’s  redemption, 

From  a noble  womb 
to  spring. 

2. 

Of  a pure  and  spot-  i 
less  Virgin 

Born  for  us  on  earth 
below, 

He,  as  man  with  man 
conversing, 

Stay’d  the  seeds  of 
truth  to  sow; 

Then  He  clos’d  in 
solemn  order 

Wondrously  His  life 
of  woe.

3. 

!n  supremae  nocte 
coenae 

Recumbens  cum  fra- 
tribus. 

Observata  lege  plene 

Cibis  in  legalibus. 

Cibum  turbae  duo- 
denae 

Se  dat  suis  manibus. 


3 

On  the  night  of  that 
last  Supper, 

Seated  with  His  cho- 
sen band, 

He,  the  Paschal  Vic- 
tim eating. 

First  fulfills  the  law's 
command : 

Then  as  food  to  all 
His  brethren 
Gives  Himself  with 
His  own  hand. 


4. 

Verbum  caro  panem 
verum 

Verbo  carnem  efficit: 

FitquesanguisChristi 

merum. 

Et  si  sensus  deficit: 

Ad  firmandum  cor 
sincerum 

Sola  fides  sufficit. 


4. 

Word  made  flesh  the 
bread  of  nature. 

By  His  word  to  flesh 
He  turns; 

Wine  into  His  blood 
He  changes: 

What  though  sense 
no  change  discerns. 

Only  be  the  heart  in 
earnest. 

Faith  her  lesson 
quickly  learns. 


When  the  celebrant  return  to  the  altar , the  oslensorium  is  placed 
on  the  throne  ( this  is  done  by  the  deacon  if  there  are  three  ministers ) 
and  the  choir  sings  the  last  two  verses  of  the  Pange  Lingua. 


5. 

Tantum  ergo  sacra- 
mentum 

Veneremur  cernui: 


5. 

Down  in  adoration 
falling, 

Lo!  the  sacred  Host 
we  hail;

Et  antiquum  docu-

Novo  cedat  ritui: 

Praestet  fides  supple-

Lo!  o’er  ancient 
forms  departing 

Newer  rites  of  grace 
prevail : 

Faith  for  all  defects 
supplying 

Where  the  feeble 
senses  fail. 


Here  the  Blessed  Sacrament  is  Incensed. 


Genitori  Genitoque 

Laus  et  jubilatio, 

Salus,  honor,  virtus 
quoque 

Sit  et  benedictio, 

Procedenti  ab  utro- 
que 

Compar  sit  laudatio. 
Arnen, 


To  the  everlasting 
Father, 

And  the  Son  who 
reigns  on  high. 

With  the  Holy  Ghost 
proceeding 

Forth  from  each 
eternally. 

Be  salvation,  honor, 
blessing, 

Might  and  endless 
majesty. 

Amen. 


At  the  conclusion  of  the  Tantum  Ergo,  the  chanters  (or  the  celebrant 
if  there  be  no  chanters ) intone  the  Litany  of  the  Saints;  the  sacred 
ministers  or  the  choir  responding. 


The  Litany  of  the  Saints,  in  which  the  whole  Court 
of  Heaven  is  called  upon  to  succor  the  Church  and  her 
children,  is  most  appropriate  during  the  Forty-Hours' 
Prayer  which  is.  as  we  have  seen,  a cry  of  distress  rising 
up  to  God  from  the  afflicted  souls  of  men.

The  Third  Day 

THE  MASS  The  Mass  celebrated  on  the  third  day  is  the  same  as 
that  of  the  first  day.  ( See  page  15.) 

CLOSING  After  the  Last  Gospel,  the  celebrant  takes  off 
CEREMONIES  the  chasuble  and  puts  on  the  cope.  He  then 
returns  to  the  foot  of  the  altar,  where,  with  the  sacred  ministers 
(if  the  service  be  solemn ) he  kneels  while  the  Litany  of  the  Saints 
(see  page  76)  is  chanted  by  the  chanters  (or  by  (he  celebrant,  if 
there  he  no  chanters)  and  the  choir. 


After  the  prayer  "Domine,  exaudi  orationem  meam — Lord,  hear 
my  prayer,"  and  its  response,  the  celebrant  incenses  the  Blessed 
Sacrament.  This  done,  he  receives  the  humeral,  veil  about  his 
shoulders,  takes  the  monstrance  in  his  hands,  turns  towards  the 
people,  and  the  procession  begins.  During  the  procession,  the 
Pange  Lingua  L sung  as  on  the  first  day.  (See  page  72).  At 
the  end  of  (he  procession  the  monstrance  is  again  placed  on  the  altar 
and  the  choir  sings  the  Tantum  Ergo.  (Sec  page  74.) 

At  the  "Genitori"  the  Blessed  Sacrament  is  incensed  as  usual. 

At  the  end  of  the  hymn  the  celebrant  sings  the  versicle: 


V . Panem  de  coelo 
praestitisti  eis. 

R.  Omne  delecta- 
mentum in  se  haben- 
tem. 


Thou  hast  given 
them  bread  from 
heaven. 

Replenished  with 
all  sweetness  and  de- 
light. 


Then  the  celebrant  rises  and  sings  the  prayers  which  follow  the 
Litany  of  the  Saints.  (See  page  84.)  When  the  prayers  are 
finished,  Benediction  is  given  in  the  usual  manner,  the  Blessed 
Sacrament  is  replaced  in  the  tabernacle,  and  the  ceremony  ter- 
minates. (It  is  quite  the  custom  for  the  entire  congregation  to 
sing  the  Te  Deum  “ Holy  God,  We  Praise  Thy  Name"  at  the  close 
of  the  services  and  the  words  of  this  hymn  are  herewith  given.) 
Where  the  custom  prevails  of  terminating  the  Devotion  on  the  evening 
of  the  third  day.  the  celebrant  and  ministers  return  to  the  sacristy 
as  usual  after  Mass,  and  in  the  evening  all  the  ceremonies  prescribed 
above  are  observed. 


Holy  God,  We  Praise  Thy  Name, 
1 . Holy  God,  we  praise  Thy  name. 

Lord  of  all,  we  bow  before  Thee! 
All  on  earth  Thy  sceptre  claim, 

All  in  heav'n  above  adore  Thee.

PRAYERS  AND  READINGS  FOR 
VISITS  TO  THE  BLESSED 
SACRAMENT 

During  your  visits  to  Jesus  in  the  Blessed  Sacrament, 
strive  to  be  natural.  Let  your  converse  be  that  of 
friend  with  Friend.  Do  not  bind  yourself  to  any 
formula; — just  speak  to  Jesus  as  your  love  prompts. 
Talk  to  Him  of  your  joys  and  sorrows,  of  your  hopes 
and  fears,  your  needs  and  your  desires.  If  you  can  not 
pray  .then,  kneel  peacefully  at  the  feet  of  Jesus  confident 
that  He  understands  everything  far  better  than  you 
could  express  it,  and  that  He  sympathizes  with  you 
with  all  the  loving  ardor  of  His  Sacred  Heart. 

The  following  thoughts  and  prayers,*  arranged  for 
two  half-hour  visits  in  five-minute  periods,  but  suitable 
also  for  the  Holy  Hour,  are  merely  suggestive  and  may 
prove  helpful  to  some  souls. 

First  Half-Hour 

FIVE  MINUTES. 

Prostrate  yourself  before  the  Divine  Majesty,  veiled 
in  the  adorable  Sacrament  of  the  altar,  and  say  from 
the  depths  of  your  soul; 

0 SACRAMENT  most  holy!  O Sacrament 
divine! 

All  praise  and  all  thanksgiving  be  every 
moment  Thine! 

( Indulgence  of  100  Jays,  once  a Jay ) 

Read  slowly:  pause  frequently  and  reflect. 

OMY  Eucharistic  Jesus,  I believe  Thy 
divine  word  that  under  this  appearance 
of  bread.  Thou  Thyself  art  really  present  as 
Thou  art  in  heaven. — I believe.  O my  Euchar- 
istic Jesus,  here  present  in  the  adorable 
Sacrament,  that  Thou  art  the  same  Jesus  of 
Nazareth  Who  didst  heal  the  sick, — and  didst 
raise  the  dead,  and  Who  for  us  didst  suffer, 
and  die  upon  the  Cross.

O JESUS,  humbly  kneeling  in  Thy  presence 
and  united  with  all  the  faithful  on  earth 
and  all  the  Saints  in  heaven,  I adore  Thee 
true  God  and  true  man,  here  present  in  the 
Holy  Eucharist.  Grateful  even  to  the  very 
depths  of  my  soul,  I ove  Thee  with  my  whole 
heart,  O Jesus,  Who  art  infinitely  perfect  and 
infinitely  amiable.  Enrich  me  with  Thy 
grace,  so  that  I shall  never  in  any  way  offend 
Thee;  and  thus  strengthened  here  on  earth 
by  Thy  Eucharistic  presence  may  I merit  to 
enjoy  with  Mary  Thy  eternal  and  blessed 
presence  in  heaven.  Amen.

"POME  to  Me,  all  you  that  labor  and  are 
burdened,  and  I will  refresh  you.” — 
Does  not  Jesus  still  address  these  words  to 
us  from  His  Sacrament  of  Love? — Come  to 
Me,  for  nowhere  else  shall  you  find  the  rest 
you  crave. — Come  to  Me.  you  sorrow-laden, 
for  no  one  else  can  unde,  tand  your  grief  as 
I can. — I know  the  weight  of  your  cross, — 
its  special  perplexities, — its  aggravations. —

I know  all  the  secret  folds  of  your  heart. — 
Come  to  Me,  then,  with  your  griefs, — your 
disappointments, — your  secret  sorrows, — your 
fears, — your  struggles. — your  sins. — Come  to 
your  Jesus,  Whose  Heart  is  ever  open  to 
receive  you  and  to  shelter  you. — Come  to 
Him  Who  compassionates  all, — and  Whose 
Heart  yearns  to  comfort  all. — Come  to  Me 
and  you  shall  find  rest  to  your  souls.  v>

That  I may  ever  love  Thee  more  and

Sweet  is  our  Lord  in  thought,  sweet  in  ths 
pages  of  the  Holy  Gospel,  sweet  in  the  shadowy 
symbol  or  the  devout  picture,  sweet  yet  more 
in  the  holy  crucifix,  but  sweeter  beyond  com- 
parison in  the  Adorable  Sacrament  of  His 
Love.  Wherefore  the  Church  sings  in  the 
words  of  her  Saint: 

Jesu!  the  very  thought  of  Thee, 

With  sweetness  fills  my  breast: 

But  sweeter  far  Thy  face  to  see, 

And  in  Thy  presence  rest.  (Oakley)

Repeat  frequently  and  devoutly  the  aspiration:

Thee  more  and  more.

And  so  at  the  end  came  the  Last  Supper 
and  the  First  Communion;  for  this  jealous 
Lover  could  not  bear  to  leave  us  without  a 
keepsake,  a love  token,  such  as  only  God 
could  imagine,  such  as  only  God  could  give. 
* * * 

DEAR  Jesus,  present  in  the  Sacrament  of 
the  altar,  be  forever  thanked  and 
praised.  Love  worthy  of  all  celestial  and 
terrestrial  love!  Who,  out  of  infinite  love  for 
me,  ungrateful  sinner,  didst  assume  our 
human  nature,  didst  shed  Thy  most  precious 
blood  in  the  cruel  scourging,  and  didst  expire 
on  a shameful  cross  for  our  eternal  welfare! 
Now  illumined  with  lively  faith,  with  the 
outpouring  of  my  whole  soul  and  the  fervor 
of  my  heart,  I humbly  beseech  Thee,  through 
the  infinite  merits  of  Thy  painful  sufferings, 
give  me  strength  and  courage  to  destroy  every 
evil  passion  which  sways  my  heart,  to  bless 
Thee  in  my  greatest  afflictions,  and  to  glorify 
Thee  by  the  exact  fulfilment  of  all  my  duties, 
supremely  to  hate  all  sin,  and  thus  to  become 
a saint.

What  may  its  message  be? 

“My  child,  My  child,  give  Me  thy  heart —

To  hear  what  I shall  say.

Think  how  Jesus,  with  boundless  liberality, 
opens  today  the  infinite  treasures  of  His

made  rich. — You  are  ill;  He  will  cure  you. 
Come  if  your  heart  is  troubled  and  anxious; 
He  will  calm  it. — Come,  trembling,  guilty

Speak  to  Jesus  in  the  Adorable  Sacrament; 
compassionate  the  sufferings  of  His  passion 
and  the  shameful  treatment  He  daily  receives 
from  men  in  the  Sacrament  of  His  Love. 
Men  love  Jesus  so  little.  They  neglect  Him 
and  leave  Him  alone  in  His  lonely  tabernacle 
while  they  give  themselves  over  to  lives  of 
pleasure  and  sin  You  wish  to  make  repara-

LISTEN  to  Jesus  speaking  to  your  soul: — 
In  order  to  expiate  your  own  faults  and 
in  reparation  for  the  outrages  done  Me  in 
this  adorable  Sacrament,  you  must  become 
filled  with  lively  faith  and  profound  respect 
toward  My  Majesty  hidden  behind  these 
sacred  veils.  Everything  about  the  altar 
must  speak  to  you  of  this.  The  lamp  which 
ever  burns  before  Me  tells  you  that  I am 
present.  The  sanctuary,  enclosed  and  silent, 
reminds  you  of  My  sanctity  and  union  with 
God.  The  tabernacle  tells  you  pf  My  love 
of  the  hidden  life.  The  purity  of  the  sacred 
vessels  warns  you  that  I look  for  purity  in 
your  soul. 

Reflect  and  make  resolutions.

reparation  for  all  the  acts  of  irreverence, 
profanation  and  sacrilege,  which  I myself 
may  ever  have  been  so  unhappy  as  to  have 
committed,  as  well  as  for  all  such  acts  that 
ever  have  been  done  by  others,  or  that  may 
be  done  in  ages  yet  to  come.  I adore  Thee, 
my  God,  not  indeed  as  Thou  deservest,  nor 
as  much  as  I am  bound  to  adore  Thee,  but 
as  far  as  I am  able;  and  1 would  that  I could 
adore  Thee  with  all  the  perfection  of  which  a 
reasonable  creature  is  capable.  Meantime  I 
purpose  now  and  ever  to  adore  Thee,  not  only 
for  those  Catholics  who  adore  and  love  Thee 
not,  but  also  for  the  conversion  of  all  bad 
Christians,  and  ,of  all  heretics,  schismatics, 
Mohammedans,  Jews  and  idolaters.  Jesus, 
my  God,  mayest  Thou  be  ever  known,  adored, 
loved  and  praised  every  moment  in  the

Read  slowly  and  reflect. 

ALL  that  is  good  and  pure  in  human  love 
is  realized  on  a transcendent  scale  in  the 
love  divine.  There  are  many  touching  tales 
in  poetry,  founded  on  the  prose  of  real  life, 
telling  how  kings  and  princes  assumed  a 
lowly  disguise  in  order  to  win  the  true  love  of 
lowly  maidens  who  loved  them  for  their  own 
sake  and  not  for  the  rank  and  wealth  which 
they  were  startled  and  grieved  to  discover, 
and  from  which  they  shrank  when  their  royal 
suitors  insisted  on  raising  them  to  their  own 
height  and  sharing  everything  with  them.  In 
like  manner  the  Divine  Lover  of  our  souls  has 
descended  to  our  level,  has  disguised  Himself 
in  oar  lowly  human  nature,  that  He  may  win 
our  familiar  and  tender  love.  He,  too,  will 
elevate  His  low-born  spouse  to  a crown  of 
heavenly  glory.

THE  SORROWFUL  MYSTERIES: 

First  Mystery:  The  Agony  in  the  Carden. 

Divine  Saviour,  under  the  weight  of  sorrow 
and  sadness  caused  by  our  sins,  Thou  fallest, 
bathed  in  a sweat  of  blood,  and  Thou  endurest 
a mortal  agony.  In  the  Blessed  Sacrament, 
also.  Thou  art  still  more  humbled  and  an- 
nihilated on  account  of  our  sins. 

We  adore  Thee  and  we  compassionate  Thy 
agony  of  suffering  in  the  Garden  of  Geth- 
semane  as  well  as  Thy  agony  of  humiliation  in 
the  Eucharist,  and  we  beg  of  Thee,  through 
the  intercession  of  Thy  holy  Mother,  a heart- 
felt sorrow  for  our  sins. 

Recite  slowly  and  devoutly  the  first  decade.  Then* 
for  the  souls  in  Purgatory,  say  the  De  Profundis : 

Out  of  the  depths  I have  cried  unto  Thee,  O 
Lord:  Lord,  hear  my  voice. 

Let  Thine  ears  be  attentive  to  the  voice  of 
my  supplication. 

If  Thou,  O Lord,  wilt  mark  our  iniquities: 
O Lord,  who  shall  stand  it? 

For  with  Thee  there  is  mercy:  and  by  reason 
of  Thy  law  I have  waited  on  Thee,  O Lord. 
My  soul  hath  waited  on  His  word:  my  soul 
hath  hoped  in  the  Lord.

O Good  Jesus!  scourged  and  covered  with 
wounds,  the  sins  committed  by  men  against 
the  holy  virtue  of  purity  thus  torture  Thy 
innocent  flesh;  and  in  the  Blessed  Sacrament 
impure  hearts  insult  Thee  by  their  sacri- 
legious communions. 

O Thou  bloody  Victim,  scourged  at  the 
pillar,  patient  Victim,  abused  in  the  adorable 
Sacrament  of  the  altar,  we  adore  Thee  and  we 
beg  of  Thee,  through  the  intercession  of  Thy 
holy  Mother,  the  grace  of  mortifying  our 
senses. 

Recite  slowly  and  devoutly  the  second  decade.  Then 
eay  the  Anima  Christi : 

SOUL  of  Christ,  sanctify  me. 

Body  of  Christ,  save  me. 

Blood  of  Christ,  inebriate  me. 

Water  from  the  side  of  Christ,  wash  me. 
Passion  of  Christ,  strengthen  me. 

0 good  Jesus,  hear  me. 

Within  Thy  wounds  hide  me. 

Permit  me  not  to  be  separated  from  Thee 
From  the  malignant  enemy  defend  me. 

In  the  hour  of  my  death  call  me. 

And  bid  me  come  to  Thee,

Forever  and  ever.  Amen.

Third  Mystery:  The  Crowning  With  Thorns . 

O King  of  Glory!  crowned  with  thorns  and 
proclaimed  in  derision  king  of  the  Jews  by 
brutal  soldiers  who  ignominiously  spit  upon 
Thy  adorable  face.  Thou  fallest  a victim  to 
the  sins  committed  by  pride;  in  the.  Blessed 
Sacrament  also  Thou  bearest  a crown  of 
ignominy  made  up  of  the  many  acts  of 
irreverence,  contempt,  hypocrisy,  and  vanity 
committed  by  Christians  in  Thy  sanctuary. 

O loving  King!  overwhelmed  with  insults 
both  in  Thy  passion  and  in  the  Sacred  Host, 
we  adore  Thee,  and  we  beg  of  Thee,  through 
the  intercession  of  Thy  holy  Mother,  the 
grace  of  mortifying  our  self-love. 

Recite  slowly  and  devoutly  the  third  decade.  Then 
ponder  prayerfully  over  the  following; 

JESUS  as  though  Thyself  wert  here, 

I draw  in  trembling  sorrow  near; 

And,  hanging  o’er  Thy  form  divine, 

Kneel  down  to  kiss  these  wounds  of  Thine 

Hail,  awful  brow!  hail,  thorny  wreath! 

Hail,  countenance,  now  pale  in  death! 

Whose  glance  but  late  so  brightly  blazed 
That  angels  trembled  as  they  gazed. 

And  hail  to  thee,  my  Saviour’s  side! 

And  hail  to  thee,  thou  wound  so  wide; 

Thou  wound  more  ruddy  than  the  rose, 

True  antidote  of  all  our  woes! 


Page  S ! 8 


Oh,  by  those  sacred  hands  and  feet 
For  me  so  mangled!  1 entreat. 

My  Jesu,  turn  me  not  away, 

But  let  me  here  for  ever  stay.

Fourth  Mystery:  The  Carrying  of  the  Cross. 

Curses,  outrages,  ill-treatments,  anguish  of 
heart,  sufferings  of  all  kinds  can  not  alter, 
0 dear  Redeemer,  the  mildness  and  patience 
with  which  Thou  carriest  Thy  heavy  cross; 
with  like  sweetness  and  patience  dost  Thou 
bear  in  the  long  course  of  ages,  doubts,  want 
of  confidence,  murmurs,  insults,  and  dis- 
couragement on  the  part  of  Thy  children 
0 Jesus!  we  adore  Thee  carrying  with  love 
the  cross  prepared  for  Thee  by  Thy  Father 
and  we  beg  of  Thee,  through  the  interces 
sion  of  Thy  holy  Mother,  patience  in  the 
trials  of  this  life. 

Recite  slowly  an d devoutly  the  fourth  decade.  Then 
ponder  prayerfully  over  the  following: 

OTHOU  Mother!  fount  of  love! 

Touch  my  spirit  from  above, 

Make  my  heart  with  thine  accord; 

Make  me  feel  as  thou  hast  felt. 

Make  my  soul  to  glow  and  melt 
With  the  love  of  Christ,  my  Lord 

Holy  mother!  pierce  me  through; 

In  my  heart  each  wound  renew 
Of  my  Saviour  crucified; 

Let  me  share  with  thee  His  pain, 

Who  for  all  my  sins  was  slain, 

Who  for  me  in  torments  died. 


Page  119 


Christ,  when  Thou  shalt  call  me  hence, 

Be  Thy  mother  tiny  defence, 

Be  Thy  cross  my  victory; 

While  my  body  here  decays. 

May  my  soul  Thy  goodness  praise, 

Safe  in  paradise  with  Thee.

Fifth  Mystery:  The  Crucifixion  and  Death  of  Our  Lord . 

O Good  and  Merciful  Saviour!  Thy  love, 
more  than  iron  nails,  keeps  Thee  riveted  to 
the  cross,  whereon  Thou  atonest  for  our  sins 
in  the  midst  of  unspeakable  torments.  We 
find  Thee  also  riveted  by  the  same  love  in  the 
Sacrament  of  the  altar,  continuing  Thy  sacri- 
fice to  the  end  of  ages  in  order  to  apply  to  us 
the  fruits  thereof. 

Sweet  Lamb,  perpetually  immolated  for  us, 
we  adore  Thee,  and  we  beg  of  Thee,  through 
the  intercession  of  Thy  holy  Mother,  such  a 
hatred  of  sin  as  will  make  us  prefer  the  death 
of  the  body  to  the  staining  of  the  soul. 

Recite  slowly  and  devoutly  the  fifth  decade.  Then 
ponder  prayerfully  over  the  following: 

HAIL  to  Thee!  true  body  sprung 
From  the  Virgin  Mary’s  womb! 

The  same  that  on  the  cross  was  hung. 

And  bore  for  man  the  bitter  doom ! 

Thou  Whose  side  was  pierced  and  flowed 
Both  with  water  and  with  blood; 

Suffer  us  to  taste  of  Thee, 

In  our  life’s  last  agony. 

0 kind,  0 loving  one! 

0 sweet  Jesus,  Mary’s  Son!

PRAYER  TO  THE  EUCHARISTIC  HEART 
OF  JESUS 

EUCHARISTIC  Heart.  O sovereign  lovt 


of  Our  Lord  Jesus.  Who  hast  instituted 
the  august  Sacrament  in  order  to  dwell  here 
below  with  us  and  to  give  to  our  souls  Thy 
flesh  as  food  and  Thy  blood  as  drink,  we 
confidently  trust,  O Lord  Jesus,  in  the  supreme 
love  which  instituted  the  most  holy  Eucharist; 
and  here,  in  the  presence  of  this  Victim,  it  is 
just  that  we  should  adore,  confess  and  exalt 
this  love,  as  the  great  storehouse  of  the  life 
of  Thy  Church.  This  love  is  an  urgent  invi- 
tation for  us,  as  though  Thou  didst  say  to  us: 
“See  how  I love  you]  giving  you  My  flesh  as 
food,  and  My  blood  as  drink;  I desire  by  this 
union  to  excite  your  charity,  I desire  to  unite 
you  to  Myself,  I desire  to  effect  the  trans- 
formation of  your  souls  into  My  crucified  self, 
I Who  am  the  bread  of  eternal  life.  Give  Me, 
then,  your  hearts,  live  in  My  life,  and  you  shall 
live  in  God.” 

We  recognize,  O Lord,  that  such  is  the  ap- 
peal of  Thy  Eucharistic  Heart,  and  we  thank 
Thee  for  it,  and  we  desire  earnestly  to  respond 
to  it.  Grant  us  the  grace  to  be  keenly  alive 
to  this  supreme  love,  with  which,  before  Thy 
passion  Thou  didst  invite  us  to  receive  and 
feed  upon  Thy  sacred  body.  Print  deeply 
on  our  souls  the  firm  determination  to  re- 
spond faithfully  to  this  invitation.  Give  us 
devotion  and  reverence  whereby  we  may 
honor  and  receive  worthily  the  gift  of  Thy 
supreme  love,  and  of  Thy  Eucharistic  Heart. 


Page  1 21 


Grant  that  we  may  thus  be  able,  with  Thy 
grace,  to  celebrate  profitably  the  remem- 
brance of  Thy  passion,  to  make  reparation 
for  our  offences  and  our  coldness,  to  nourish 
and  increase  our  love  for  Thee,  and  to  keep 
ever  living  in  our  hearts  this  seed  of  a blessed 
immortality.  Amen.
